Part of my job is to be able to educate my clients on the basics of financial planning and investing.
The mission of this blog was to be able to pass that knowledge on to more than just my clients.
I have had the pleasure of working with numerous media outlets who have helped me share my passion for finance on a larger scale.
If you are interested in me for a media reference, please be sure to contact me.
